Wedding Dresses for Southern Highlands Brides

We are at 7-9 Princes Highway, Fairy Meadow, Wollongong. Without heavy traffic it is about 55 minutes from Mittagong (68 km), about an hour from Bowral and Burradoo, about 1 hour 5 from Berrima, about 1 hour 10 from Moss Vale and about 1 hour 25 from Bundanoon. From Robertson it is under an hour. You can get directions on Google Maps.

No. We are a wedding dress shop in Fairy Meadow, Wollongong, about an hour from Bowral and Mittagong. If you are looking for wedding dress shops in the Southern Highlands, we are the shop that Highlands brides drive to for a free, private appointment, designer gowns from several labels in one place and free parking at the door.

Because of what the trip gets you: an hour booked just for you, designer gowns from WONÁ Concept, Eva Lendel, Pronovias, Enzoani, Mori Lee, Aire Barcelona and Veni Infantino plus a Curve collection, free parking at the door and in-house alterations by the team who sold you the gown. It also turns choosing your dress into a day out by the coast.

There are two main ways down the escarpment. From Mittagong and Bowral, most brides take the Hume Motorway and then Picton Road (B88) to the Princes Motorway. From Moss Vale, Robertson and Bundanoon, the Illawarra Highway over Macquarie Pass is the usual way. Either way, we are on the Princes Highway at Fairy Meadow, with free parking on site. For live road conditions, check Live Traffic NSW, and you can get directions on Google Maps.

It is a normal public road, and many locals drive it every day. It has tight bends and can be slower in rain or fog, so leave a little extra time and check conditions before you set off. If you would rather avoid it, Picton Road is the other main way down to the coast.

There is no direct train from the Highlands to Wollongong. Trains run from Moss Vale, Bowral and Mittagong towards Sydney, and the South Coast line runs from Sydney through Wollongong, with Fairy Meadow station on it, so the trip would involve changes. Most Highlands brides drive, and parking at the showroom is free. For timetables, see Transport for NSW.

Yes. Appointments are free, last about an hour and need to be booked. You can request a time on our booking page or call us on (02) 4283 6077.

We are open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 10am to 5pm, Thursday 10am to 7pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm. We are closed on Tuesday and Sunday. A morning start leaves time for lunch by the coast before the drive home, and Thursday until 7pm suits brides who work. Hours can differ on public holidays, so call to check.

Plan on about an hour. Bring any photos or ideas you have saved, and tell us your wedding date and venue. Many brides wear or bring a nude strapless bra and shoes with a heel height close to what they plan to wear on the day. It helps you see how a gown will sit.

Yes, you are welcome to bring up to 5 family and friends with you, bridesmaids included. Parking is free on site, so everyone can arrive together.

WONÁ Concept, Eva Lendel, Pronovias, Enzoani (including Blue by Enzoani, Love by Enzoani and Pen.Liv by Enzoani), Mori Lee, Aire Barcelona and Veni Infantino, plus a Curve collection, Rosa Clará and Luna Novias. Browse each collection on our website before the trip, so you know what to ask for.

Yes. We have a dedicated Curve collection of wedding gowns, tried on in a relaxed, private appointment. Ask for it when you book and our team will have gowns ready for you.

Yes. All of the designers above are in the one showroom, so you can try gowns from several labels in your hour. Tell us who you would like to see and what you are drawn to, and our team will help you choose the rest, so you are comparing shapes and fabrics side by side before the drive home.

Yes. Most Highlands brides do. A morning appointment leaves time for lunch by the sea before the drive home, and you will be back in the Highlands in the afternoon.

Every gown you buy from us is eligible for our in-house alterations, carried out by our own team at the showroom. Fittings are at the showroom, so tell us your wedding date at your appointment and we will talk through how many fittings to plan and how to group them into trips.

As soon as you have a date and a venue is a good time. Many wedding gowns are made to order, so the earlier you choose, the more time there is for ordering and fittings. At your appointment we will talk through what is realistic for your wedding date.

That is fine. Bring photos of anything you like, tell us what you do not like, and our team will help you choose shapes to try. Trying a few different silhouettes in one hour is the quickest way to find what suits you.

It helps, but you do not need to settle on a number first. Tell us roughly what you have in mind when you book, and we will show you gowns to match. You can also look at our sale gowns page, which shows reduced prices online, before you leave home.

We talk you through the next steps for your gown and your wedding date, including ordering and fittings. Every gown you buy from us is eligible for our in-house alterations, so the same team looks after your dress until you collect it.

Yes. We have bridesmaid dresses from Mori Lee and Nicoletta, and dresses and outfits for the mother of the bride and groom. Bring your bridal party along to your appointment, or book a separate time for them.

Macquarie Pass and Picton Road both descend the escarpment and can be slower in rain or fog. Leave a little extra time and check conditions before you set off. If you are worried about the drive, call (02) 4283 6077 and we will talk it through, or help you move your appointment. For live road conditions, check Live Traffic NSW.

There is free on-site parking at the showroom. To book, request a time on our booking page or call (02) 4283 6077. Tell us you are coming from the Highlands, so we can help you choose a time that suits the drive.
